The NFSA presents a series of irreverent, Friday night filmic feasts, curated and hosted by drag artist and culture warrior Venus Mantrap. Cult Classics with Venus Mantrap dives into the world of sharp, edgy films and beloved fan favourites. Each event features a pre-screening live performance by Venus in our beautiful art deco Arc Cinema.
Our Cult Classics screenings are often interactive and always full of laughs and surprises. Leave your serious side at home and enjoy a movie night with a twist. And probably a shimmy.
When a bored suburban housewife (Rosanna Arquette) suffering amnesia is mistaken for a free-spirited New York drifter (Madonna), she embraces the role.
Susan Seidelman’s joyous tale of liberation through defining your own identity plays out via screwball comedy and a celebration of pop culture.
‘Madonna has never found a better fit than the role of Susan, a thrift-store free spirit - and even then Arquette gives as good as she gets with a deliciously kooky comic turn.’ – Time Out London
